QUAD role in Indo-Pacific
Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, the ‘Quad’ was formed after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami to coordinate disaster relief efforts. The partnership, championed by the-Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, became dormant for several years due to concerns over China’s reaction. It was revived in 2017 as attitudes towards China’s rising power shifted across the region.
